Gangster Squad actor Josh Brolin has opened up about hiswild youth taking drugs and stealing cars.

Brolin admitted he was out of control when he got caught up with narcotics when he was a teenager. He said: "What'd I spend the money on?
Drums and drugs. What else was there?

"I was the last guy to get into heroin, I smoked it, and the first to get out. I was around 16 or 17, so it was around the time of
The Goonies. But I liked working and learning, so it was very difficult for
me to lend myself to that drug completely.

"I stole a lot of radios from cars. I could pop the
detail with a coat hanger real easy. I got very good at it. I can still do it
today. I could do it like that."

Josh, 44, who was arrested for public intoxication in Los Angeles on New Year's Day, also revealed he served time
in jail after getting involved in a brawl.

He said: "When I was 19 a fight broke out, and when the
police came, I fought the police. I was pretty drunk. To this day, I have no
idea what the fight was about. I woke up in jail. I did a bit of jail time. Not much, but
a little bit."
